mass the size of lima bean

[clyde_on]

I have a mass the size and texture of a lima bean on the same side my testicle was removed. I just noticed it.

Is this normal?

It feels hard, it is right at the top of the sack.
ANy ideas?

its a hematoma I think,
I called the doc and he claimed it was more then lilky a hematoma.
Ahh the wondeful world of TC, Whats next I wonder?

Very common. No worries, it will be slowly reabsorbed and disappear.

I 2nd, 3rd the very common response..

...scared me when I felt it a few weeks out of surgery....now 5 months post chemo it's completely gone...just gets reabsorbed or shrinks...but gone...

your mind can really play with you sometimes though...

agreed, I was like holy crap another tumor!

So it takes about five months! wow!

These things can take quite a while for the body to reabsorb. Heck a good black and blue can take two weeks to go away and that's a very thin film of blood never mind the size of a lima bean. Just monitor it but it should be fine.
